2013 July 17 • Wednesday

2013 continues to be an amazing year for new releases. This one is something of a dream come true: Joey Baron performing live in a duet with Bill Frisell.

These two are my favorite musicians in the world. They've been playing together for thirty years or so, in a lot of different settings. Bill's been in Joey's band, Joey's been in Bill's band, they've both played together in other people's bands.

Their duets are a special treat, though. They move easily from free improvisation to tunes and have such a deep communication that they practically become one. I've been lucky enough to be in the audience for a few of those gigs and I've heard several live recordings. This one, recorded November 16, 2008, in Germany, is excellent.

But it gets even better. This concert was recorded by a professional camera crew and the first two hundred people who buy Just Listen will receive a DVD of the video!

I got mine from the Downtown Music Gallery.
